AlAll the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.” Lord Frith to El-Ahrairah. ― Richard Adams, Watership Down https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/2022/07/the-book-of-betrayal.html  

   This is Billy.  Orphaned as a small bunny, my brother found him alone and starving and brought him home. He is a wonderful person and has been a delight to live with.  He likes reading outside among the trees and flowers.  This is his favorite book, The Wind In The Willows, a gift from a kindly teacher. He always dresses well and is the politest creature imaginable.  Later today we will go get ice cream, he has many friends in town and loves to chat with them.  He means the world to us. He's read this book so much it's falling apart.  I guess the story of talking animals is a world he wants to live in, I know he feels out of place here.

(While Toad is in prison for stealing a motor-car, the stoats and weasels have occupied Toad Hall. Ratty, Badger and Mole come up with a plan of attack and are determined to win back the Hall for the not very worthy Toad). WHEN it began to grow dark, the Rat, with an air of excitement and mystery, summoned them back into the parlour, stood each of them up alongside of his little heap, and proceeded to dress them up for the coming expedition. He was very earnest and thorough-going about it, and the affair took quite a long time. First, there was a belt to go round each animal, and then a sword to be stuck into each belt, and then a cutlass on the other side to balance it. Then a pair of pistols, a policeman's truncheon, several sets of handcuffs, some bandages and sticking-plaster, and a flask and a sandwich-case. The Badger laughed good-humouredly and said, "All right, Ratty! It amuses you and it doesn't hurt me. I'm going to do all I've got to do ...

 Just a silly idea of dogs (and one smart cat)! playing Dungeons and Dragons based on the old paintings of dogs playing poker by Cassius Coolidge in 1894. The original painting by him~ My silly drawing~ My painting~ Art in progress video~

 A 1978 Halloween special from Nelvana Animation studios. This was a story about folk singer Daniel and his partner Jan.When their music career seems to be going no where,Jan sells her soul to the Devil (a anthro dragon type creature) to become Funky Jan,the disco queen! Daniel steps in to save the day by finding a loophole in the Devil's contract. Pretty serious stuff for a kid's cartoon,but a great soundtrack-pure 70's funk! My fan art of Jan-so much fun to draw!

Once again, JamesB000 has drawn my rabbit Billy far better than I can.  It is such an honor to have this awesome artist take my creation and run with it.  This is really his own, Billy has never looked this good.  I am overwhelmed by his skill and ability, and what can I say but thanks, James, another great creation!   https://www.deviantart.com/jamesb000
